A tilt back combo is only good if you only play bass and will only ever want to monitor accordingly.

FRFR is good for all instruments and you could use as a full line monitor if you wanted. Or in a pinch add it to the FOH setup

I'm going to close this thread down now as the site is quite stable and info will big quite a lot easier to find if issues are in separate threads

Thanks to all involved!

Was there ever an answer to this? There's lots of pages to wade through!

Generally grand with the new look, just getting used to the odd bit being in a different place. :-)

Yeah we've answered it a few times

Messages aren't coming back, the change of format etc and the risk of potentially revealing confidential info if we got the process wrong was just a bit too high

Can anyone recommend a decent brand of foam earplugs? Even better if you can define what colours.

Looking to give them away at events etc not use them myself

Budget?

Also might be worth putting something in a wanted on here, you never know what people have knocking around!

Weirdly you only get a warning if you follow the link from Baschat. If you do it from the YouTube page it appears to be fine.

It's because the link is to a redirect through youtube so it's giving you a warning that you're not going to where you think you are

Where the link is sending you is

Where it's actually taking you is

TuxGuitar will definitely do that for you

Tux guitar is free and can open them

It's ok, not a touch on guitar pro though

I'm glad he's managed it  saw the announcement today.

Although, as dingwalls are already quirkily shaped seeing it in lefty REALLY sent my head spinning

Reaper is extremely capable  as long as you get on with the workflow you'll be just fine.  At these levels we're talking about a preference in how you work rather than quality IMHO (unless you move into ProTools HD territory which is a whole different realm)

Hah! Si that for a DAW newbie is what is just I need. Nice clear recommendation. I need to stop dithering now and being tossed like some leaf in a storm with each passing gust of wind. Let's be honest, I'm not going to go too far wrong with Reaper am I? Decision made. Hooray!  (Note to self - avoid looking at this thread again and changing my mind for the 23rd time...)

As most have free trials there's no need to make a decision  just decide which you want to try first!

Oh no!

Make sure you swing by and say hi though

We're thinking up ideas for our stand as we speak

There are several top-flight bassists that play with thin gloves, for various reasons. Worth considering..?

That's a good shout!

Maybe something like this?

What about 3 or so tall advertising style ones mentioned before (especially if they can be "partially" opened so that you can get them too tall and reach the ceiling in 90% of situations and then a backdrop that fastens to the banners to block out everything behind?  Not sure if anything like that exists but it works in my head

Oh Mike.... what joy.... the Missus shares your bass acquisition habit - "clear the spare room"

Unfortunately it would also mean she knows what everything is worth!

That looks great

Welcome to the madhouse

Celebrating it's 5th Birthday and incorporating the best Basschat luthiers in their very own Basschat Custom Bass show,

The Midlands Bass Bash 2018 is taking place on the 5th May 2018 from 1200 to 1700.

The venue is

Brockington College,
Blaby Road,
Enderby,
Leicester,
LE19 4AQ

It's easy to get to from J21 of the M1. Take the A5460 and at the first roundabout turn right onto the B4114 towards Narborough. Carry on the B4114 past Fosse Park on the right until you get to another roundabout. Turn right here onto Blaby road, the B582. Follow this road and once you cross the motorway Brockington College is the next left.

In the left hand corner of the car park is direct access to the front of the school. If you want to use that to unload that's fine, but it would be appreciated if you would then park in the car park proper afterwards. The room we are using is the first door on the left, just beyond the disabled parking bays. We'll try and get a sign up with an arrow!

There is a firm limit of 7 amp rigs in the room but if you have one handmade by dusky thighed maidens that is acoustically perfect in every way then I'll make an exception to the rule! The room isn't huge and I'd like to be able to hear afterwards and be allowed back next year

We're going to ask for a £5 entry fee on the day. On the off chance enough people turn up to cover the costs any extra will be donated to a charity voted for by the attendees.

I think that's about it, any other information will appear in this post at the top of the thread and then be bumped.

Can any possible/definite/probably attendees put their names on the list so we have a reasonable idea of how many to expect.

Awesome!

If you set it up in the calendar you can do a RSVP list there

I suppose there must be a use for status updates, but i havent fathomed it.

It seems, of the little i've read, that it's stuff that could just as well be posted on the forums ??  

Are you just picking threads at random?

Status updates are intended to be used in a similar fashion to facebook updates.  Granted, people are putting longer status' than I expected but it was a feature on the old site too

Thanks - 

Charic, what could possibly need changing in my settings mate ?

No idea but lets keep the troubleshooting to one thread so I don't get confused

Keep an eye out for a link that doesn't work as it should for you and let me know

I expect you're probably right

The thing that puts me off the pleasureboard is that I need an amp to drive it!

I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality when I opened it!

I think BT is strictly one to one on the pairing. Funnily enough, I'd already questioned this - but for a different application where I want a large number of devices listening to just one transmitter.

I know that my headphones can connect to my phone and my laptop simultaneously so it's definitely possible, it's just whether it's possible in this unit (different BT versions etc).

Would love to give one a try as I was looking at a pleasureboard anyway
